Most people when they hear what I do laugh and say “Ah so you’re not really here then?” (oh haha - pick me off the floor please!)
What do you come across in terms of perception of using a VA or being a VA?
One I’ve bumped into occasionally is that having is somehow inferior to having a person working for you “properly”… I can see how clients move onto needing a full time employee but it is often not a good reason to get rid of the VA as it’s super unusual to find all of our skills in one person - or at least a person with enough time to be able to do it all for you at reasonable cost!
I’m fairly sure our local coffee shop think I’m a SAHM and Craig is a drug dealer or something… Given that we spend loads of time in there and never wear anything approaching business attire but are permanently attached to our smartphones!!!
We’ve battled for some years with the assumption that we’ll be in to sign for everyone’s Amazon packages…
Anyone else?!
